Pandemonium

There moving hosts so they should be back up soon .

You may find this useful http://tomspeirs.com/gameex/Shell.htm worked well for me

As the error log says "path does not exist " so go back and check your path for this emulator

I use the mirror from my bedroom and place it in front, then at lest you can see what you are doing ! It took a whille to find the sweet spot that works for every game and windows but it works great now

Happy Birthday Mame !

Change the Show Desktop to Yes in each of the emulators setup in GameEx Config .

I have used your old one on my cab for ages and this looks really good I love soul Cablibur , just have to wait to DL now

Yeah , that seems to have sovled it , kind of strange that .

You tried using fraps ? its really easy to use. Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560x1600 on dual-core CPUs (1152x864 single-core) at up to 100 frames per second! Fraps Website

Yes it happens from the start of gameex booting, I use the quickres tool to give me a res of 640x480 it should be set at 32 colour but it may be (for some reason ?) set or messed up , Ta for your help

Sorry bit vage then, every thing is fine one night then from switch on the next day it will start from then , its never happends from a return from a game, the only new emulator is the atari jag which is disabled at the mo. No new drivers have been installed , apart from .net 2.0 could it be that maybe ?? Thanks .

Hi , Once in a while I have a text problem that happends on every menu ,main and sub screen . The only thing that clears it up is a reinstall of GameEx, and has happend about 4 times now and only on this ver of GameEx ? I am using a arcadeVga card and I think it may be a confict with gameex and that as it dont happen anywere else and every game runs fine ? I have checked though my log and dont see any thing wrong there either .

How do you mean properly ? As I have my windows on my cab set as 640 x 480 on a 20" Hoz Monitor I have set Zsnes (In Config ,Video) to run at 640x480 DS FULL Works good for me .

When you pay, tom then emails you a Registry File ,Which you then add and then that removes the nag screen .

I had the same problem but this should fix it , Problem: (USB Only) Board appears not to work until WinJPAC is run every time. Yellow exclamation marks in Control Panel, Device Manager. This is a rare problem, and is caused by a registry error. It is suspected that this problem occurs if the board is regularly swapped from one USB port to another, or different board versions used on the same PC. Microsoft have been alerted to this problem. To fix this problem, download this file: IPacfix and click on it. This deletes all references to the J-PAC in the registry. Then unplug and reconnect the board. If you would rather do this manually here is what to do: The fix involves registry editing, the usual caution should be observed. Run regedit, and open Hkey_Local_Machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Enum/HID and delete the keys containing VID D209 Also Hkey_Local_Machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Enum/USB and delete the same keys. You might have to right-click and set permissions to do this. Unplug and re-connect the board. Mine works fine now but only on the default settings , If I try to reprogram it does not work , but the defaults should be fine for you

Its Professor Pac-Man. Produced by Bally Midway in 1983. Designed to capitalize on the perceived quiz game niche, the game presents simple visual puzzles and requires the player to solve each within a short time limit. However, despite the game's use of the popular Pac-Man character, Professor Pac-Man proved largely unsuccessful due to its slow pace and its abandonment of the pills and ghosts maze game. The game is for one player or two (taking turns) and consists of answering multiple-choice questions before time runs out. The timer is a Pac-Man eating a row of dots; The more dots left when a correct answer is given, the higher the score awarded. As the levels progress, the dots disappear more quickly. Bonus questions are given after several correct answers. The game ends when a certain number of questions are answered wrong, or when time runs out.

brilliant work tom , Thanks

Yeah go download the new Version: 81.98, work fine for me Nvidia Drivers

Have you set the mame path and rom path in the GameEX Config as well ? All you need to do as well is load GameEX and click Update list . so this then updates your mame rom list for use with it.

Also if you update your Catlist and extract it to your mame dir and direct and update your GameEx config in Advanced Mame settings helps as well. Catlist

Run GameEX config , then its under Advanced mame setting , Its the 7th one down on the first page then next page. NO Adult games. Gimme the porn . Edit: sorry for being a halfwit, I just re read your post , check that you have hide update turned to no in Enable/disable features in config , and double check that your mame & roms set to the right path other wise update games dont show . My Update games is on my main mame game list (yeah I know my roms are low I am just putting them back on my cab )

I could make you one if you wanted , you would need to tell me which GameEx logo you wanted though ? Here is one I made before (its a bit rough round the edges as your only allowed to use 16 colours ) Oh and if it ok with tom as well ??
